hope by 'cover' in the halves they don't mean some cheap, has-been/never going to be...while we waste salary cap signing Dowes up again (for 1 broken tackle a year) and yet another loose forward in Westerman.

he did say he wouldn't use all the cap now,if there wasn't anyone suitable.he would keep it open,in case anything came up during the season.also,with the players,he was targeting,he couldn't fit calders within the salary cap.

Rather they spent 125k on chase

He'd be worth it, 100%. One of my favourite players in Sl.

Heard you have made a 125k bid and if we sign Hauraki from Crusaders he's yours.

By heard you mean you read it on Casforum, which is a reverse of your usual crap, which you nick from RLFans and haven't got one right yet

Westerman will fetch in more than 125k and that's even if the club wanted to sell him in the first place.

It's looks as though we are struggling to sign a quality playmaker in the halves so maybe agars solution is to sign westerman (either for 6 or more likely 13). IMO he would be a good signing but it's a shame for washbrook who has been deprived of quality game time in his natural position

Rangi chase is playing for the maoris on saturday so it will be interesting to see how he gets on. I wasn't too bothered about watching the game until i saw Chase was playing

Absolutely. Great skill and individualism - won't happen but would be fantastic.

What's the point in paying a fee for Westerman when we have some good backrowers and play a prop at 13? Baffling.

Totally agree , why pay money for a loose forward when we don't need one and we desperately need a half but will probably go for a back up

I don't for 1 second believe we'll pay out £125k and a stack load of salary cap for westerman who firstly isn't worth it and secondly doesn't play in a priority position we need to strengthen. If we do, then you have to ask why the fee and cap weren't spent on a better quality 1/2 back than we'll probably end up with.

westerman is OOC next season I think so if he's coming it should be then when fitz retires
